kprobes: Introduce kprobes jump optimization

Introduce kprobes jump optimization arch-independent parts.
Kprobes uses breakpoint instruction for interrupting execution
flow, on some architectures, it can be replaced by a jump
instruction and interruption emulation code. This gains kprobs'
performance drastically.

To enable this feature, set CONFIG_OPTPROBES=y (default y if the
arch supports OPTPROBE).

Changes in v9:
 - Fix a bug to optimize probe when enabling.
 - Check nearby probes can be optimize/unoptimize when disarming/arming
   kprobes, instead of registering/unregistering. This will help
   kprobe-tracer because most of probes on it are usually disabled.

Changes in v6:
 - Cleanup coding style for readability.
 - Add comments around get/put_online_cpus().

Changes in v5:
 - Use get_online_cpus()/put_online_cpus() for avoiding text_mutex
   deadlock.
